Re: Radio v Bluetooth

Though I generally ride solo, the ability to communicate with others when needed, I find hard wired PMR radios (Puxing 888's) more reliable. Coupled with a bike mounted antenna the Puxing's give me better range, not to mention their ability to be programmed with more PMR channels. Bluetooth sets hav...

Re: Stelvio pass

Tbh I didn`t find Stelvio exciting, just another tickbox I ran from Riva Del Garde towards Lago D'Idro, then up Passo Di Crocedomini, before running up Gavia & the SS42 to the Stelvio. Then down Stelvio and overnighting at Naunders. The next day I retraced my route from Naunders up Stelvio, befo...

Re: Time for the Tories to start the celebrations

When I grew up labour was the left wing militant bunch that I supported. With the assent of the namby London based yuppies Blair, Milliband etc. Labour lost the plot and the support of the majority of working class people, inc me. As they'd moved so far to the right no one could differentiate them f...

Re: Refugee Crisis

Guys can you edit your quotes.
It's taking me ages to scroll down through the multiple quotes because the poster hasn't edited the quote, to highlight the point they want. Before responding with 1 or 2 lines

Re: Refugee Crisis

A fine example of economic refugees reported in the recent news was a Pakistani couple who'd sold their home and headed to Europe though Turkey Macedonia etc only for them to get ripped off for $2000 by smugglers.

Re: What makes a RTW/Long Distance Traveller?

The 1st 2-3 weeks away are the hardest, where you acclimatise to the pace and the possibility of being alone. When I was 30 I was able to head off backpacking to various places over a 3 year period. Starting off with 3-4 weeks doing the touristy parts of Florida and other southern states. Buying air...
